Investment products tied to digital assets recorded a third consecutive week of outflows, totalling $264.4 million over the past week, according to the latest CoinShares report. However, the pace of withdrawals slowed dramatically from the previous two weeks, and funds for alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) posted their first inflows since mid-January.
XRP-focused products led the altcoin inflows with $63.1 million, while Ethereum and Solana funds attracted $5.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively. As a result, total weekly net outflows across all crypto funds fell sharply to $187 million, down from $1.695 billion the week prior.
This deceleration coincided with a price recovery across major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin, which fell to a nearly 16-month low of $62 822 during last week's sell-off, has rebounded to trade around $70 500. The sell-off, which featured Bitcoin's worst daily drop since late 2022, was attributed to forced liquidations and whale selling, pushing the asset roughly 44% below its all-time high set last October.
Analysts view the slowing outflows as a potential inflexion signal, noting that similar decelerations have preceded market turns in the past. They point to additional positive signs, including deeply oversold technical conditions and emerging sentiment that recent weakness represents a buying opportunity. However, they caution that a single week's data is insufficient to confirm a sustained turnaround.
Despite the moderated outflows, continued withdrawals have reduced total assets under management in crypto funds to $129.8 billion, the lowest level since March 2025. In a contrasting trend, trading volumes for crypto exchange-traded products hit a record $63.1 billion last week, suggesting heightened institutional activity even as spot market liquidity appears thinner.
The sentiment is stabilising cautiously but remains fragile and divided. The sharp slowdown in outflows and the return of altcoin inflows are the first positive capital flow signals in weeks, suggesting the panic-selling phase may be exhausting itself. This, combined with a price rebound and oversold conditions, supports a near-term stabilisation narrative. However, the outlook is bifurcated. Structural concerns persist for many altcoins, and analysts are split between near-term bearish targets for Bitcoin and steadfast long-term bullish projections. The market appears to be in a consolidation phase, searching for a direction catalyst. While the worst of the liquidations may be over, confidence is not yet restored, leaving the market vulnerable to further negative news or macroeconomic pressures. The path forward likely hinges on whether incoming U.S. economic data supports a risk-on environment.
